| Module Description: |
This module studies electrical power systems to broaden the student's understanding of power in electrical installations. It introduces national rules and regulations/ international standards. |
| Learning Outcomes |
| On successful completion of this module the learner will be able to: |
| LO1 |
Apply knowledge of materials, equipment and processes to the design of electrical systems. |
| LO2 |
Select wiring systems and cable management systems. |
| LO3 |
Implement standardised methods to determine cable current carrying capacities. |
| LO4 |
Evaluate a completed installation against appropriate manufacturer recommendations, industry standards, codes of practice, and relevant Safety Acts. |
| LO5 |
Apply standardised tests on completed domestic/commercial/industrial electrical installations. |
| Pre-requisite learning |
Module Recommendations
This is prior learning (or a practical skill) that is strongly recommended before enrolment in this module. You may enrol in this module if you have not acquired the recommended learning but you will have considerable difficulty in passing (i.e. achieving the learning outcomes of) the module. While the prior learning is expressed as named CIT module(s) it also allows for learning (in another module or modules) which is equivalent to the learning specified in the named module(s). |
